The carnival is part of the All Schools Events, which is conducted by NSW Touch Football. St Mary's won the the Carnival in 2018.
The team had some players from last year backing up but it was a relatively new team and unofficially the youngest team to play and win the carnival.
One student was in Year 4, four students from Year 5, three in Year 6, two from Year 7 and year 8 was represented with one student.
The girls finished on top of their pool defeating Mudgee 3-1, Parkes 4-0 and St Johns 4-1.
The Pack then entered the sudden death finals defeating Dubbo Christian School 8-0.

It was a nail biting win over St Johns 3-2 in the semi-finals and they defeated Mudgee High 5-1 in the grand final.
St Mary's Catholic School sports coordinator Alistaire Thompson said one thing that cannot be faulted was the girls courage and heart.
"In these hot conditions they pushed themselves so hard I could not be prouder of them," he said.
The girls will have a week off before heading to Sydney for the state championships.
"Big thank you to all our families that travelled up to Dubbo and supported our students and were there to see our success," Mr Thomspon said.
St Mary's Catholic School Wolf Pack will contest their title at the state championships in Sydney on November 22.
